About the author

The creator of Seeing the Flick - but you already knew that. When not watching a film or podcasting he plays guitar pretending he's Jimmy Page. He grew up on comic books, likes board games, and long walks on the beach. Fluent in Spanish, but misspells English. A perfect balance of Scorpio and Libra, his favorite flavor of ice cream is cookies and cream.

Nice to see a new podcast on the site. With all the stuff you guys got on here, wavemotionacannon is really shaping up well.

Of the fall shows I only got to watch Izetta. It didn’t really impress me that much though. As someone already mentioned in the podcast the worldbuilding feels really cheap. The show seems to be relying on you, to transfer your knowledge of actual history in order to give the world some meaning, while it’s not capable of creating that meaning itself.

On top of that, going so deep into not-WWII territory feels pretty cowardly. At this point they might as well have turned it into actual WWII with a twist on it.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Although, WWII is something I enjoy reading/hearing about, Izetta isn’t close enough for the emotional connection to occur and seems to be far enough removed as to require and explanation.

Speaking of heavier set anime characters comfortable in their skin, Oshiete Galko-Chan from a few seasons ago not only had the title character who definitely was on the chubby, zaftig side, but also has Nikuko, a fat, athletic girl who is the ace of the soccer team.
